Runs pfsense w/o a hiccup. If I could wish for improvements itd be a more recent / powerful cpu and wi-fi. As is, it has no problem pushing 1.2gb on my 1gb internet.

This is a wonderful value when compared to protectli or others. I do not think the heatsink is as good as it should be as the device runs around 45 degrees celsius according to PFsense dashboard. I added a 40mm usb fan that I had laying around just sitting on top of the unit with 1/2 inch spacing and it now runs at 35 degrees celsius. Huge improvement. Ordering this to run on low speed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MWH4FL4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2AW0W4FKP16S5&psc=1. and it should cool nicely. Im a media horder who runs a usenet pipe almost all the time. AKA constant downloading. This device replaces a HP T730 thin client that fried after a year. Oh, this comes loaded with PFsense on ZFS. Mine came with current 2.6. Saved me a lot of work. 2.5G ports is another bonus as I cant afford to upgrade yet but am planning on. Havent tried but willing to bet one could install Mikrotik router or switch OS on these was well.

As the title states, it will no longer power on after 5 months for no apparent reason.

I am currently using this to serve up my homes internet using PFSense. It easily handles my homes 1GBps internet service. The latest speediest.net I ran got me 970Mbps Down. It also has been completely stable; uptime is around 90 days right now. It also sips power; I had an hourlong power outage the other day and it was efficient enough to keep running on its UPS until the service was restored.

The PC itself is great. Using mine with pfsense. I did have a ram stick die shortly after getting things running, but the seller actually responded pretty quick and resolved the issue.

Bought this box for our lab to further test PFSense. The 2.5gig Ethernet ports worked as expected with PFSense 2.6.0CE. Had this running in a lab environment for about a week and so far, its been flawless. My unit only came with 4gig instead of 8, but a quick chat with the seller resolved the issue completely. Looks like a great value if you are looking for an inexpensive way to run PFSense.

Had this box running during setup for about a week or two, and today once Ive finished configuration, it just went off and never came back to life no matter what Id do - reset, power on/off, plug out/in... less than 24 hours of actual work, and I was only using two out of four ports at the moment... Not sure what may have caused this, there was no power outage, no overload, no overheating. It just crapped out. Not interested in replacement, so this goes directly to trash and one star in a review.

+OPNsense install works great (balenaEtcher -> VGA to USB install)

First, they delivered the product quicker than I thought, I probably got it like 5 or 6 days before the expected date.

Runs OpnSense like a champ. So far it is solid and fast, and Im not seeing any heating issues. I DID buy an 80mm USB fan to set on top of it, but I really think that is overkill unless you are running multiple end-to-end VPNs or IDS/IPS that is keeping the CPU spiked. So far Im very happy with this device.
